Because everyone is entitled to my opinion. Monday, April 29, 2013. I will no longer be blogging here at Feminist Catalyst. So, grab a coffee and take a walk with me over to my new home.

Thanks to the pervasive spread of capitalism, shopping I would argue is an activity undertaken in all parts of the world. However, after returning from the market this past Saturday with fruits, vegetables, a brush and a pair of second-hand Thai fisherman pants, I realized that the even though the simple act of shopping is universal, the context, ritual and act of shopping is significantly diverse.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011. A feminist reflection on Solstice. On December 21st of this year was the longest night of the year, and many cultures around the world celebrate this time by gathering and telling stories, honouring the dark and cold space that allows us to go within ourselves and welcome the light as the the Earth begins to spin closer to the Sun, stretching the days out longer once more. Solstice night reminds me so poignantly of how these demons can obscure the spark of inspiration and so.
